5:47 am
down tomorrow next. except we are going to do that right now because we are looking at a temperatures in the 50s. so here we go with the low clouds and fog all the way across the bay. so san jose hasn't seen it yet, and you, too, will see a little bit of fog. temperatures are fairly uniform with the numbers mainly in the 50s. 49 santa rosa, 52 half moon bay. some of the drizzle along the coast. we look for cooler and breezier conditions today with numbers coming down into the low 80s in the warmest locations. tomorrow barely reaching 80 degrees and we will look for warming on the back side of the system and that will bring us to a pretty nice day on tuesday and wednesday. here's a look at our satellite and radar come 'sits. a low sitting offshore so the southwesterly winds out ahead of it will bring in the cool are air. because of this, though, this will cool that marine layer and that in turn looks to mix it on out. we will be looking at some
5:48 am
sunshine as soon as 10, 11:00. then we will look for the fog to move back across the bay overnight. but for the meantime we are talking about the mild temperatures replacing that warmth inland today so we saw numbers approachinged 0, more like low 80s today and upper 50s at the coast. with that low cloudiness, we are looking at the stratus deck bringing in higher clouds as well. notice the orange, really not until you get well into the east bay and maybe we will look for a cup he of 80s down throughout the hills of loss got toss but otherwise there's no 70s around the bay and temperatures just in the lower 60s in san francisco. here's another look at that low. you know, it's going to slide across the east and we will see the potential for higher fire danger in northeastern california, northwestern nevada. but locally it's just increasing that cool marine air, and we don't have any fire danger to worry about here locally. but by the middle of the week we
5:49 am
will see those winds turnaround and bring us dryer weather. mid-90s for chico today and fresno with the 80s in yosemite. 74 in the northern sierra. look at palm springs with 107 and the low clouds and fog from north to south and a little bit of mist and drizzle this morning. but you will notice more of that tonight and in fact by your monday morning as well. we will look for the gray conditions. so overall today look at the 60s returning from san francisco in oakland, 63 in richmond, 66 across the bay, and in oakland with low 890s returning here. just in a few spots though. upper 70s from san jose and cupertino and campbell. notice along the coast we have some mist and drizzle. i don't think we will see much clearing at all throughout the early part of the day and the fog moves on wack. we are looking at 60 monterey, 28 gilroy. here's the look ahead. today some sunshine, should look pretty good out there but definitely cooler with numbers
5:50 am
